11-Year-Old Prodigy's IQ Exceeds Einstein and Hawking
In the United Kingdom, a schoolboy has taken an IQ test and surpassed the scores of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, joining the Mensa Young Genius club. This was reported by the Daily Mirror.
11-year-old Adrian Lin moved from Hong Kong to London in 2022. In the Mensa Geek Club IQ test, he achieved the highest possible score and ranked among the top one percent of the world's brightest minds. It is noted that both Einstein and Hawking scored 160, while Lin scored 162. He has been invited to join Mensa.
"I was only thinking about scoring 148 points to join the Mensa IQ society. I didn't expect to get close to Einstein's 160. It was so amazing," the child shared.
His mother, Rachel, said that Adrian has been extraordinary since early childhood. At the age of two, he articulated the word "university" perfectly, even though he had no idea what it meant. This young genius has been a lover of books since he was two years old, reading several books every day.
"In kindergarten, he started reading the complete versions of his favorite 'Star Wars' books," Adrian's mother recounted.
The child dreams of becoming the world's best doctor and is interested in cardiology. At the age of eight, he began writing novels, producing the "Monster Quest" series filled with exciting adventure stories. Adrian is now writing a novel about Ancient Rome and hopes to publish his work in the fall of 2023.
